DISABLE

Use the DISABLE command to mark a CA Datacom/DB Model or CA FILE Model structure or substructure as being unavailable for use by other CA products.

This function indicates that the CA Datacom Datadictionary definition no longer agrees with the CA Datacom/DB Directory (CXX) definition or the physical data. Disabling a structure does not affect the definition in the CA Datacom/DB Directory. Your CA Datacom/DB Directory definitions are still accessible by your programs, but they cannot be accessed using certain CA products (such as CA Dataquery and CA Ideal) that depend on the CA Datacom Datadictionary definitions being synchronized with the CA Datacom/DB Directory (CXX).

CA Datacom Datadictionary performs this function automatically when it executes the following functions:

ADD
CATALOG
COPY
CREATE
DEFINE
MODIFY
RESTORE
TRANSFER

Perform the ENABLE command on a structure or substructure that has been disabled. For more information, see ENABLE.

Use the following format for this command:

Note: If your completed command exceeds the 76 spaces available in one command line, use the prompter panel to issue the command.
